You are either the prosecutor or the defense lawyer

You are either the prosecutor or the defense lawyer faced with the following scenarios and issues. 

Boobie Clark hit a defenseless player in the back during a during a football game, after the play; and was sued in Court; Deshaun Watson was accused of over 25 counts of sexual assault, all off the football field and settled out of court; Ron Artest went into the stands to hit a spectator after the game, but not the one who threw a bottle at him; Calvin Klein walked onto the Court during the middle of the game to talk to a player (Latrell Sprewell); and I “accidently” threw my friend to the ground while playing basketball in the school yard.

There is no right or wrong answer, just ones that do, or do not analyze and apply the materials we have learned.
